Mastering Facility The Bakery Has Strong Presence at NAMM 2017

LOS ANGELES, CA, January 27, 2017 – As part of mastering facility The Bakery’s ongoing efforts to reach out to the music industry to share their expertise and network with other top pros, The Bakery founder and principal Eric Boulanger and fellow mastering engineer Jett Galindo represented the facility with a strong presence at the 2017 NAMM Show in Anaheim, Jan. 19 through 22, 2017.

The following day, on Friday, January 20, Galindo was part of the panel “Opportunities for Women in Media Technology,” in the convention’s TEC Track Sessions. This panel, moderated by tech journalist and writer (CNN, CNBC and L.A. Times), video host, content strategist and entrepreneur Jessica Naziri, focused on the challenges that women in the audio industry face every day and how the session’s panelists have remained true to themselves, all the while keeping their eye on their goals and achieving success. Other panelists included Lenise Bent, mixer engineer and producer; and Leslie Lewis, producer and president of Leslie Lewis Consulting.

Galindo remarked, “To be surrounded by fellow women in the audio/music industry – veterans and aspiring engineers alike – it was all very electric, uplifting and empowering. It's important now more than ever that we keep the dialogue open and embolden women to pursue their dreams in music and technology. The TEC Panel and Soundgirls Mentoring Sessions are the perfect venues for this movement to keep going.”

At the 32nd Annual TEC Awards, held Saturday, January 21, 2017, Boulanger served as co-presenter for the category "Technical Achievement in Signal Processing Software (Dynamics / EQ / Utilities)," which was awarded to iZotope Ozone 7. Co-presenting with Boulanger was legendary musician Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads, The Modern Lovers).
